You may begin work as soon as you have paid for and received your approved building permit. You may not begin construction until the permit is approved. Projects that are started prior to permit approval are subject to double permit fines.

The current red tag fee is $55.00. This fee must be paid before re-inspection of the property.

Permits that are turned in with the required and correct paperwork have a 72 hour turnaround time. If the building inspector determines that more information is needed, you will be notified as soon as possible.

The inspector will leave a green tag if the inspection passes. If the work does not pass a red tag will be left documenting the corrections that need to be made. It is your responsibility to check the job site for an inspection tag. Please do not call Town Hall or the building inspector to see if you passed inspection. 

A licensed and insured land surveyor can assist with locating property lines. General dimensions for a property are found on a property’s site plan or survey documents. Town staff does not have the ability to assist with locating property lines.

In addition to a fine, state law mandates that the Court assess court costs.  If you are found not guilty, no court costs will be assessed against you. The court costs vary depending on the type of offense. You should check with the Court to find out the amount that will be assessed in your case. If you request a trial and are found guilty, you may also be assessed the costs of overtime for a police officer spent testifying in the trial. If you request a jury trial, an additional $3 jury fee may be assessed and if a warrant was processed and/or served by a peace officer, an additional $50 may also be assessed.

Fines

Each fine is determined by the Court. The state sets a minimum and maximum amount of fine. The Court must set the fine within these limits. Court costs: The state sets court costs for each type of violation. These costs could be as little as $8 to as much as $200 per charge.

Time-payment reimbursement fee

State law requires the Court to add a $15 fee to each case if you elect to take more than 31 days to pay your fine and court costs.

Warrant fee

State law sets the warrant fee at $50 per warrant.

Outside of court with the judge and prosecutor, the municipal court clerk provides many functions to handle your citation prior to your court date if you wish to try to resolve it without seeing the judge/prosecutor. The court clerk has the ability to assist defendants with the following options:

• Requesting a Driver's Safety Course

• Requesting Deferred Disposition

• Payment Plans

• Resetting Court Dates

The court clerk does not have the ability to change fines and fees in regards to the options above. If finances are an impact on your ability to handle a citation, please attend court on your court date to speak to the judge.
